True it's a big list, but I EXPECT Hasbro to announce and confirm all of those within the next week

Seriously though, Mark, while I really like your pics for the Action Collection, your six choices would only last the line 2 standard waves (of 3 figures each) or so. As Hasbro has the license for 5 more years at least, we should get at least a dozen figures per year in the standard waves, not counting exclusives.

I recommended 73 figures (approximately and double-counting for 2-packs, Band Pairs, etc.)

Hasbro could make just about ALL of these over the next 5 years, or 60 of the 73 of them in standard, quarterly assortments of 3 figures per quarter!

That does not include Episode THREE figures however, but some of these can be exclusives including the 13 that wouldn't be counted amongst the 3-per-quarter rule.

Even at $20 each, it makes Hasbro $60 per quarter from each 12" collector, or $240 more per year from all of us.

The math works out. I think they should do it! I mean most of the time they are saving by recycling the same GI Joe body, it's just clothes, head and hand sculpts, plus packaging and shipping costs, right?

Yeah, Tycho. In "theory" they can. I was just narrowing it down to the one's I'd absolutely "DEFINITELY" pick-up. I'm getting more and more choosey these days. But, I must admit, I'd be a sucker for these next "additional waves" from your list.

A Gam Guard could be AWESOME ! I can picture him now, so rotund with cloth and leather accessories. They could even do a removable helmet, unless it wouldn't be able to fit his head properly . . . detailed horns and protruding teeth would be cool in the 12" line. Make him, please

Mark, I'm pretty choosey too. But I guarantee I would buy the Guard, as well as Snags, 2-1B, and FX-7

Yes, Mark: that was Nabrum Leids with the 4 arms. He WOULD make an awesome 12", wouldn't he?

Caesar: I was almost drooling like a Gamorrean over your description of a 12" Action Collection one! Wow that would be awesome!

However, this is Hasbro - with the cost put in for the new molds obviously required for the Gamorrean's unique build - he's going to be all plastic like Watto was, if they do him. (I'd bet). However, what a great sculpt it would be (at least!).

Anyway, the latter is the version they could sell for $20. The one with all the extras sounds like an exclusive with a high price tag to me. But heck: I'd pay for that kind of quality! Are you in Ceasar?
